A cross section of a solid is a plane figure obtained by the intersection of that solid with a plane. The cross section of an object therefore represents an infinitesimal ...

Let DeltaA^'B^'C^' be a triangle perspective to a reference triangle DeltaABC with perspector D^(''). Let A^('') be the intersection of lines BC^' and CB^', B^('') the ...

A differential k-form can be integrated on an n-dimensional manifold. The basic example is an n-form alpha in the open unit ball in R^n. Since alpha is a top-dimensional ...

The fourth group isomorphism theorem, also called the lattice group isomorphism theorem, lets G be a group and let N⊴G, where N⊴G indicates that N is a normal subgroup of G. ...

The great rhombic triacontahedron, also called the great stellated triacontahedron, is the dual of great icosidodecahedron uniform polyhedron. It is a zonohedron and a ...

A homogeneous space M is a space with a transitive group action by a Lie group. Because a transitive group action implies that there is only one group orbit, M is isomorphic ...

Given a short exact sequence of modules 0->A->B->C->0, (1) let ...->P_2->^(d_2)P_1->^(d_1)P_0->^(d_0)A->0 (2) ...->Q_2->^(f_2)Q_1->^(f_1)Q_0->^(f_0)C->0 (3) be projective ...

Householder (1953) first considered the matrix that now bears his name in the first couple of pages of his book. A Householder matrix for a real vector v can be implemented ...

The inverse function of the Gudermannian y=gd^(-1)phi gives the vertical position y in the Mercator projection in terms of the latitude phi and may be defined for 0<=x<pi/2 ...

An authalic latitude which is directly proportional to the spacing of parallels of latitude from the equator on an ellipsoidal Mercator projection. It is defined by ...
